After watching the first episode I can honestly say this show is below average at best. It's another example of an entertainment starved country clinging to their sad version of a celebrity, no matter how boring he may be. At least they didn't let it run forever like that terrible Black Adder show.

This show is freaking hilarious. The characters are all endearing, the plot is amazingly well crafted, and the jokes per episode number in the hundreds. My only gripe is that I wish they would have made more, and each one a little longer. This is a perfect series for people who are looking for something light-hearted, obscene, awesome, and artistic. The actors / actresses in this series really bring out the well written story of mid- 20's laggards, waiting for their big break in the cruel but real world. Perfect. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in comedy or drama. This show comes highly recommended by me and my social circle. I would encourage anyone who enjoys a good laugh to watch this show.

I only saw one episode because I was on a plane. At first, I didn't like it but it grew on me about cartoonist who submitted the wrong picture to the man who can change his life forever. He has to get it before he sees it. Well remember the Mission Impossible scene where Tom Cruise has to break into the CIA but it's far more enjoyable and there are laughs along the way. The cast is unfamiliar to me personally. I don't get much newer British comedies in America but I think Simon Pegg does a wonderful job as does the other cast members. It's kind of quirky and silly but really enjoyable. I think Simon Pegg goes over the edge regarding the show's comedic appeal. It's not so much about Spaced as it is about average ordinary life in London and the characters who wish they were anything but ordinary and average.

Just sent back to Netflix the first disc of the "Spaced" series and can't wait for the next to come. I had never heard of this show until reading a review of the DVD in Entertainment Weekley I think and thought I would give it a view since I really liked both "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. I had tried to watch "The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galasx" and could not get through it so I was a bit worried about the production value when episode 1 started but bought into the show in just a few minutes . The writing is fantastic with lots of references to American movies and culture that Pegg and Stevenson (Hynes) deliver rapid fire. The supporting cast is great with Frost, Julia Deakin, Katy Carmickael and most of all Mike Heap as Brian. I had never seen most of them, again being and American here in the States but will be adding some of there other work to my Netflix Queue.Overall, well worth the time and effort to find as long as you remember they didn't spend a fortune on each episode. Script and cast make "Spaced" top notch.
